Re: 1967 GMC - SWB, great patina

Finally received some goods, so got after the rear diff reassembly with a new pinion seal, pinion nut and axle seals. On just about everything I assemble, it gets a LIGHT tough of Loctite 518, including a small line around the splines of the pinion and yoke.

I cleaned the heck out of the original bearings and coated them in 90w before reinstalling, tightening the pinion nut to a rotational torque of 15inchLb for the pinion. Used a big pipe wrench to hold the yoke.
